Perhaps you would be interested to know that the Sibylline Oracles are available within the Pseudepigrapha module in the program Accordance for Macintosh. The good news is that they are tagged. The tags include parsing details, so that searches can be performed for uninflected forms, or for grammar details. I wrote the tags, so that I would be interested if you notice mistkaes [sic!] that I should correct.

This is good news for anyone interested in working with the Greek text of the SibOr (or any of the Pseudepigrapha, for that matter) . . . the ones who use a Mac, anyway. Thank you, Marco!

Blessed to be here . . .

I found out . . . !

. . . by taking the "Which Church Father Are You?" quiz . . .

. . . I’m an Origen!

"You do nothing by half-measures. If you’re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you’re going to teach, you’re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you’re a guy and you’re going to fight for purity . . . well, you’d better hide the kitchen shears."

That's what it says, anyway, and it must be true, since it explains so well why I turned up in the vicinity of Gandhi and the Dalai Lama when I took the (also eerily accurate) Political Compass quiz a while back.
